Important Dates

The BIGSAS Journalist Award honours high-quality journalism in German-speaking media that deals with topics relating to the African continent beyond stereotypes. The submitted articles were reviewed by a jury consisting of BIGSAS alumni and researchers of the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence. The journalists who submitted their articles do not necessarily have an academic background or special knowledge in an Africa related field of research, nor are researchers in African studies trained in journalism or methods of public outreach of their research results.

The roundtable on the morning after the BIGSAS Journalist Award aims to encourage a discussion on how the different fields are entangled, can benefit from each other. What kinds of stereotypes need to be tackled? Where do we need more public engagement? Do we need to share more data?

Billian Otundo and the Cluster's Junior Research group leader Joschka Philipps in discussion with the winners of this year’s BIGSAS Journalist Award, the Jury and all interested researchers and students. i
